The Critical First Hours After a Fire
A fire does not end when the flames are out. Soot, moisture and open walls and roofs can make the damage worse with every passing hour. That is why Shelby, AL property owners are urged to call a restoration team as soon as it is safe to do so, because the first day often decides how much can be saved.
Our team at Fire Damage Flint keeps a dispatch line staffed 24/7, and aims to get a crew to the property within about an hour. For families and companies in Shelby, AL, that means boards on the windows, a tarp on the roof and water out of the building before further weather or moisture can do more harm.
Why Smoke and Soot Need Specialist Treatment
Every fire leaves a different kind of residue. Protein smoke from a kitchen fire needs degreasing, while synthetic materials leave behind soot that must be removed with different methods. Restoration crews working across Shelby, AL test the residue before cleaning so the right treatment is used on each material, so walls, ceilings and fixtures are not damaged by the wrong product.
Smoke smell is often the hardest problem to solve. Tiny particles work their way into walls, carpets, furniture and air ducts, and simply wiping surfaces will not make the odor go away. A proper job includes HEPA air scrubbing, odor neutralization treatments and cleaning of the HVAC system so your Shelby, AL property smells fresh and is safe to breathe in again.
Do not assume everything inside is lost. Our contents service packs out your items, cleans them off-site and returns them once the repairs are finished, which protects them from further exposure and speeds up the rebuild.
